Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 4 egg yolks
Instructions
- Infuse the cream by heating 1 cup of heavy cream in a medium saucepan until tiny bubbles form around the edges. Add 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender and steep for about 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 2/3 cup granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually pour the lavender-infused cream into the egg-sugar mixture while whisking constantly to prevent cooking the yolks.
- Return the mixture to low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup raw honey, and a pinch of salt. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least two hours.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions until it reaches soft-serve consistency (about 20-25 minutes).
